Convince us to read the book: I liked this book for its original plot, characters (they ranged from funny to sorrowful to aggravating), and the writing was very descriptive. I was a little put out at the ending, which I felt was a little abrupt, but other than that it was a pretty good read.
Memorable or Forgettable: This book was memorable to me because of the details about Azra's (the main character) magic, since she is a reluctant genie-in-training. I also really liked the idea of a "Zar," or group of fellow genies because all the characters in the two Zars were very fleshed out and had vibrant personalities.
Cover: The cover reflected the contents very well - it was a bangle that restrains a genie's magic. It definitely drew me in, too.
